It would be presumptuous to think "this is the real Boeing" based on anecdotes from people who worked there. Even in big companies, where a lot of folks are twiddling thumbs, there are undoubtedly teams where real quality work gets done. These teams are somewhat insulated from the bureaucratic environment around them and attract true performers.
- RealityVoid 7y agoDo you think that the teams are insular or the people who know what they are doing are insular? Because in my experience the people that do the heavy lifting are just randomly distributed and are bright spots in a otherwise gray landscape.
- anonfounder747 7y agoYou do find good talent embedded in poorly performing teams, but that doesn't last very long (few years at most). People like to be around others with similar standards. Good talent will gravitate to teams with high quality talent and conversely good teams tend to pick good quality people. It's a form of sorting that over time results in people with similar standards working with one another.
